XKCD Significant-Speed of Light Issue?
You got to love it when correlations can be made, and a thank you to the ICECUBE Blog If the histograms and data are exactly right, the paper quotes a one-in-ten-thousand (0.0001) chance that this bump is a fluke. That’s pretty small; although bear in mind that lots of distributions like this get plotted. If…

So what about the Missing Energy?
“Death, so called, is but older matter dressedIn some new form. And in a varied vest,From tenement to tenement though tossed,The soul is still the same, the figure only lost.” Poem on Pythagoras, Dryden’s Ovid. It is unfortunate to have endured the constant flutter of disbelief(cry of pseudoscience) as to what is possible in a…

Cascading Showers from the Cosmos
3) It is claimed that cosmic rays can energy exceeding that of colliders, and they have not caused trouble, suggesting that colliders will not cause trouble either. However, the analogy is not precise. It assumes two things that may not be true. First, cosmic ray center of mass energy exceeding that of colliders has never…

Blackhole evaporation: What’s New From the Subatomic-Sized Holes ?
…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.Albert Einstein See What is Cerenkov Radiation? We are being “politically correct” (a sociological observation) when we change the wording of the “microstate blackhole production” to “Sub Atomic Sized Holes?” To…
